When Sonam Kapoor spoke on comparison with Deepika Padukone.
Bollywood actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor has been away from the big screen for a long time. The actress was last seen doing a cameo in ‘AK vs AK’ released in 2020 and before that she was seen in the lead role in ‘The Zoya Factor’ released in 2019. Sonam Kapoor made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Saawariya’. Ranbir Kapoor was in the lead role with her in the film. When Sonam made her Bollywood debut, she was initially compared to Deepika Padukone as both their first films ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Om Shanti Om’ were released in theaters together. Both the films were released in November 2007 and these films were the debut films of Sonam and Deepika.
When Saawariya and Om Shanti Om clashed at the box office
While the Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor starrer failed at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Om Shanti Om was one of the most successful films of the year. In such a situation, when Sonam was asked about this, the answer she gave was much discussed. During a press conference for the 54th Idea Filmfare Awards, Sonam Kapoor, who was 23 at the time, said that despite her first film being a flop, she did not see herself as ‘less than’.
I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter- Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor says- ‘I did my first film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and my second film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. These are very big names and I am on top of the world right now. I am no less than anyone. I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Said this on comparison with Deepika
During this time, he also spoke openly on the unfair comparison with Deepika Padukone. Deepika had received the Filmfare Award for Best Debut for her debut with Om Shanti Om, reacting to which Sonam had said – ‘Awards are important and it was important for me too to bring an award for Saawariya. I was very sad at not getting the award. But, I cannot compare myself with Deepika. She is mostly doing commercial roles and I am not doing that. She is signing many films a year, but I am doing only one film at a time. It takes about a year to make a film and that is why I am less visible than them.
